The new Apple 3G IPhone at US$199.
Some time ago I brought Qty:03 Apple IPhone from United States and ship it back to Singapore to a Friend's friend. The IPhone cost US$399 each and the UPS shipping charge was US$120++. To the guy receiving the item on the other end of the shipping process, its still consider a steal because the local Ebayer are selling IPhone at almost S$1000. Some VIP from our Empire came to USA just last month and brought an Apple IPhone at US$399. A colleague of mine brought almost 5 IPhone back to Singapore and sold it to friends at a profit 3 months ago.
This week came the news that excites people who haven't own an IPhone but also gave an ugly shock to those who got their IPhone recently...
Apple will be releasing the 2nd generation 3G Apple IPhone to the market on 11th of July. Not only is it faster since its operating on the 3G cellular network, it also comes with built in assisted GPS navigation system something the old IPhone comes without. The final icing to the cake is consumer get all the extra features plus whatever the 1st generation IPhone offers at a slashed price of US$199. The price tag difference of US$200 dealt a painful blow to buyer who recently just got their 2G IPhone. For further reading, click the link below.
One can only wonder what Apple is up to again. This is not the first time Apple attempted price murder on their own product lines. They did it once in 2007 with the IPhone three months after its launch by slashing the price down from US$599 to US$399.
Obviously back than and right now anyone trying to capitalize on the selling the IPhone in countries where it was officially not on sale (like Singapore) were in for an unpleasant surprise.
